For Those Running Nismo Coppermix Twin.....

So I've recently had my Nismo Coppermix Twin plate installed in the GTR and I'd read so much about them being very drivable and stock like.

Now I've only driven maybe 50kms so may be too early and may need bedding in, but immediate impressions are that it is very... very light. Doesn't feel like it will hold power, almost feel like I need to take the booster off to get more feel. But it's very quiet and seems very strong. It's very quiet in neutral or with clutch dissengaged.

Now my question is for those who run one, is it normal for it to cause some driveline judder on gradual take up? My searches are suggesting no, however I have read that this is commonplace on twins. I can drive around it of course by taking it up with more revs, but wondering if I should be looking into replacing gearbox or engine mounts or if this may be considered normal. My old Clutch had a very slight judder only when cold.

What do you think?.

That's what makes the Nismo Coppermix so driveable. It's not filthy heavy like a OS twin plate for example which over time is like kicking a bag of sand over and over.

The first 500-1,000kms it will be a little bitey, it will settle down though. So give it a little while before worrying about minor shudder.

it says that these clutches make noise and vibrations

Yeah just so that when it does make the slightest noise (and it literally is non-existent) - people dont come back and complain.

As the plates get lower/wear they will get noisier, just how it goes.

My only complaints are it's a bit rattly on idle in neutral (clutch out) because of the flywheel, and slips a bit when cold, aside from that it's brilliant, very light to use and bites hard on high RPM take-offs...

I've got one and I could not fault it in any way. When it was installed it was very 'bitey' (probably me just getting used to a twin) but I did get it adjusted (dunno what was done) and it was so much easier to use. No noises what so ever. Not heavy. Very user friendly. No driveline shudder under any circumstances.

Have only launched in 2WD mode but it was a 2nd gear start from standstill. No dramas and was really easy to modulate.

Ace clutch. Should be for the money.

Ive got the Coppermix Twin C-spec in mine and have nothing but praise for it. By far the easiest twin plate I have ever driven and at the same time has a real good bite to it. A few of the guys have mentioned noise issues - you can hear it on the odd occassion in neutral however its pretty subtle and honestly nothing to lose sleep over.

Give it about 500km or so of driving (start/stop as opposed to highway kms) before you give it a launch, I guarantee you it will definately "hold the power" ;)

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
